On your doorstep

What you’re living next to if you stay here.

• 5.Strøget & the Round Tower — One of Europe's longest pedestrian streets, threading the old town from the city hall to Nyhavn past squares and shops — and just off it, the 17th-century Round Tower you climb by a spiralling ramp for a view over the rooftops. The city's walkable spine.
• 6.Rosenborg Castle & crown jewels — A fairy-tale Renaissance castle set in the King's Garden — the royal treasury in its cellar glittering with the Danish crown jewels and regalia. Small, rich and central, wrapped in the loveliest park in the city, where all Copenhagen sunbathes in summer.
• 10.Torvehallerne market — Two glass food halls by Nørreport packed with the best of Danish eating — smørrebrød, fresh fish, cheese, coffee and pastries, plus stalls to eat at on the spot. The tastiest, most affordable way to graze your way through new Nordic food.
• 11.A smørrebrød lunch — Denmark's open sandwich raised to an art — dense rye piled with pickled herring, roast beef and crispy onions, or prawns and dill, eaten with a cold beer and a shot of aquavit. The classic Copenhagen lunch; do it properly at an old cellar restaurant.
